We have never had a KOR/TBC leg that travels that far I do not think? They have raced non-stop from Bora Bora to Tahiti to Auckland to Christchurch to Australia (connections?) to Bali before ending Leg 4 with an elimination. That is a long arse amount of travel - come on now!

Yes. The cities that have been accumulated this season is crazy. Imagine the toll that it takes on the racers!

i think this is in Ubud, but i don't know the exact location. Definitely not at the public/famous temple like Besakih, Uluwatu or Tanah Lot temple. Each house & village has their own temple, so this little temple must be one of them.

This is at the pit stop

I'm pretty sure this is Ayung river in Ubud. This river is well known in foreign countries as a very attractive place for rafting. This is obviously one of the detours. looks like they collect black sands and then carry it somewhere.

I think John & Jessica are on their way to the detour.

Uluwatu beach

Uluwatu beach. Chuck couldn't find the surf shop. I told him where it's at and then he running everywhere with that surfboard lol...

and the RB, pura=templeuluwatu is almost 100 meters up on the sea level. If they have to run back and forth carrying a surfboard from the temple to the beach, pheww!! good luck with that...

maybe that's why this became the longest leg

No, temple & the beach are not in the same location. it takes 15 minutes by taxi from the temple to the beach. The roadblock was at Uluwatu beach. And yes, i saw they run back and forth carrying a surfboard. there are many stairs, rocks, & cliffs. It was physically challenging

Another angle of the temple from the opening sequence. It's on a terrace of some sort. Although most Hindu temples are based on the mythical Mt Meru so this description fits most temples in Bali.......

We've got teams going from the airport to the (mostly male) kecak dancers at Kenanga Hotel, then to the Detour at Ubud Monkey Forest, then... ?... until the Roadblock in Uluwatu and the Pit Stop.

So if the (female) legong dancers are not just stock footage they'd have to fit in somewhere between Ubud and Uluwatu?
